question about a waste oil burner

Thanks Russ!

What is a good size line to use between my steel drum oil storage tank and the ammo box?  Can I go with 1/4 inch, or is a different size better?  Thanks

[Russ]

It's been so long that I don't remember what I used.  I think I used something like 3/8.

Ok.  I'm going to get a steel drum and weld a 3/8 nipple on it and attach a shutoff and line.

What happens if you don't have an air solenoid on the air inlet?  I should get a NC (normally closed) one right?  And any advice on wiring it up?

I bought a 2660 vacuum pump, but it doesn't have a capacitor.  Any advice on finding the right capacitor for it?

Thanks

I only used a solenoid when I used my big compressor.  You need something to cut the air off when the furnace is shut down or it would continue to blow air and siphon fuel along with it.  I just left mine in when I got my vacuum pump because I was lazy, but really wouldn't need it because the pump switches on and off with the burner with no storage tank to keep supplying air so it quits just as soon as the pump stops.

I am no expert on capacitors, but mine has an Amrad R2000/37-156 on it.

Hope that helps.
